THE HEBREW YAHOSHUA VS THE GREEK JESUS

THE HEBREW
YAHOSHUA VS THE GREEK JESUS

The
following is a brief descriptive distinction between two very different
historic personalities that most people mistakenly think are one and the same
person. See if you can guess who these
two very different personalities are.

Person
1) Was born on the
Feast of the Tabernacles (Sukkot) 9-24-03 BC.

(Only
Mark 16:9 seems to indicate a first day of the week resurrection. When you move the comma to the correct
placement then you will soon see it does not.
Even so, you cannot develop any doctrine based on one verse.

“Now when Jesus was risen, early the first day
of the week he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven
devils.”

This
rendering agrees 100% with the gospels of MattithYahu / Matthew, Luke and
Yahonan / John.)

Person
2) Contradicts himself repeatedly, in every extant English and Greek manuscript.

(Matthew
5:33-37 vs. 23:16-23, Matthew 23:3 vs. 23-35, 15:3-9)

Now,
can anyone intellectually, and honestly, say these two individuals are actually
one, and the same person?

I have only
scratched the surface! This is the
proverbial tip of the iceberg! Heretofore, most of you did not even know
the iceberg existed. I literally could go on and on, and on, contrasting
the difference between

Personality 1) and personality 2)!

Most
people in the “Christian” religion, and unfortunately most people of the
Messianic belief, or “the Hebrew Roots”, will zealously try to persuade you that

Person
1) Yahoshua ha MaShiach & Person 2) Jesus Christ

are
actually one and the same person. For
whatever reason, most Messianic believers cannot figure out, that there never was a
man named Jesus Christ, who lived 2,000 years ago, who died for our sins, so
that He may redeem us to himself.

Yahweh
Elohim saved us, because He can! Because
of His favor He saved us, even though we used the wrong name, and were taught
another Messiah. (Galatians 1:6-9 2Corinthians 11:3-4 & 13-15) He answered our prayers, even though we used
the wrong name, and were taught another Messiah.
He draws us into the Messianic belief, or the Hebrew Roots of our faith,
even though we used the wrong name, and were taught another Messiah. This is demonstrable proof of His endless
mercy, and UNMERITED
favor. In no way does it prove that
Jesus Christ and Yahoshua ha MaShiach are the same person, or that there is
power in the name of Jesus. It only
proves that He is Love!

Jesus
Christ is a fairly tale, made up out of religious syncretism, over a period of
almost 2,000 years. Yahweh is ever
faithful, even when we are not! Yahoshua
ha MaShiach, always has, and always will be, the Savior, and Master of the
Universe. It doesn’t matter if you agree,
or not. Our opinions will not stand in
eternity; however, His Word will go on and on, and on! (MattithYahu / Matthew 24:35, Revelation
22:18-19) Personal experience will never
trump the testimony of Yahoshua! i.e. the Word of Elohim!

It
is amazing to me, what great lengths men will go to convince us, (deceive us), that the
name Jesus Christ is the proper name of Yahoshua ha MaShiach. Prayerfully consider the following, in the English translations of the first
century writings of “The Scriptures” (the New Testament) we observe, Yoseph is
always transliterated to read “Joseph”, Maryahm is always transliterated to
read, “Mary”, Yahrushalayim is consistently transliterated to read “Jerusalem”,
Beyt Lechem is always transliterated to read “Bethlehem”, Beyt El is always
transliterated to read “Bethel”, and MattithYahu is consistently transliterated
Matthew.

Are
you beginning to notice a pattern here?
Do you see how beautifully these Hebrew words are preserved in the
English translations of “The Scriptures”?
However, when it comes to Yahoshua ha MaShiach, they leave every linguistic
rule of grammar, and all the translation committees have unanimously agreed, to
literally change His name! If they were
100% consistent the English transliteration would always read “Joshua the
Messiah”.

Followers
of Yahoshua in the first century, would have been known as followers of “the
way” (Acts 24:14), Nazoreans (Acts 24:5), and / or Messianic or
Messianites. They would have never, ever
have called themselves “Christians”.
Christ is a Greek title, which was applied to every Greek elohim (god) in the
Roman-Grecko religious systems. Every
pagan worshipper was a “Christian” in the first century. Whereas, ha MaShiach, (the Messiah), is a
Hebrew title, which can only be applied to Yahoshua of Nazareth, the Yahweh Elohim of
Yisrael, made manifest in the flesh.

When
we first encounter Truth it can be a very painful experience. It was a very painful experience for our
father Ya ‘acob when he wrestled with Yahoshua, (the Word / the Truth). (Bereshith / Genesis 32:24-32) He left that encounter with a painful, and permanent,
limp from his hip being displaced out of its socket.

It
was not all that long ago when the people of South Africa had the unfortunate, and
painful, experience of discovering their Rand 200 had to be canceled, and taken
out of circulation, because it had been severely counterfeited. Everyone who had any of the counterfeit R200,
(approximately $30 US), was left with a worthless lie(s), of which there was no
profit, or exchange!

Our
father Ya ‘acob continued to wrestle with the Word, even through his personal
pain, and hold onto Yahoshua. He would
not let go of Him until he received his blessing! He was able to exchange the lie, of what he
previously believed to be true, about the nature and character of Yahweh, for the
inestimable eternal Truth of Yahweh Himself!

Are
you willing to do the same? Will you
wrestle with the Word / the Truth; no matter how painful it is, until you
receive your blessing from Yahweh? Will
you exchange the worthless vanity of Jesus Christ, (i.e. the man of sin, 2Thes
2), and another Messiah, (of whom Shaul warned us, Gal 1:6-9), for the inestimable
riches of Yahoshua ha MaShiach, the Savior and King, who died for your sins?

YirmeYahu / Jeremiah 16:19 “O יהוה, my strength and my
stronghold and my refuge, in the day of distress the gentiles shall come to You
from the ends of the earth and say, “Our fathers have inherited only falsehood,
futility, and there is no value in them.”

Shalom brother,Did I struggle to be able to comment on this blog...But at least I am here now.Wonderful way of describing the different ways people view the same person... Sounds like Yoseph who looked like an Egyptian to his brothers, but who was in fact a Hebrew like them.I expect that in the soon coming months and years many more people will see Yeshua for who he really is...Thank you for sharing the truth.Shalom

Shalom Henru, thank you for your comments... Yes, it is not easy to accept the plethora of lies we have been led to believe, but O' what joy has filled our souls at the receiving of the Truth, Yahoshua ha MaShiach.

In the not so very distant future all of the house of Yisrael will witness Yahoshua ben Yoseph, the pagan prince of Egypt, reveal Himself as Yahoshua ben David, the true King of Yisrael and simultaneously the pagan queen Esther will be revealed to all as the true bride of Yahoshua called Yisrael. Hallelu-Yah!
